Description
A hearty and comforting stew made with tender white beans, savory mushrooms, and aromatic herbs, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white beans (cannellini or navy)
- 250 grams sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the mushrooms.
- Sauté the onions: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and mushrooms: Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then stir in the sliced mushrooms along with a pinch of salt. Sauté until tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Combine everything: Add the cooked white beans and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, mix in fresh thyme leaves, and add the bay leaf. Let simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes.
- Final touches: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, blend part of the stew for a creamier texture before serving.
